Hi BDMaster.
Thanks for the last info with the U disk. I did not try it out so far but found a workaround for the "Novo" button not working problem:
- install Grub boot manager
- Flash to 1.14, so you can use the sleep bug to flash a custom bios.
- Flash to unlocked 3.03 you provided using sleep bug as described in previous posts
- use fun + f12 key to get into boot menu and select the grub partition for booting (flashing did reset it for me to boot into windows immediately, might be different for others)
- in grub, select the "system setup" option. This will make the laptop reboot with some kind of flag set, entering bios immediately after booting, thus eliminating the need for the Novo key
- you will then be able to do bios changes as usual
This allows me to use the modified 3.03 bios on Lenovo Y70-70
Only downside is I can not use the lenovo recovery feature from power off, just launch it using windows. For me that's totally ok compared to fiddling with the hardware
